Gout monitoring and prevention management

To STOP gout attacks and the development of bony joint tophi you need to bring your "uric acid' levels down. This pharmacy provides a Gout Monitoring and Prevention service in conjunction with your own doctor. The service involves initiating medication that stops your body making too much uric acid. Your uric acid levels are checked via a regular fingerprick to make sure they are at the right level. If your levels don't come down sufficiently you may need to take a stronger dose of the medicine.

GOUT can be a sign you could get diabetes, heart disease and kidney problems. It can be very painful and stop you doing all the things you enjoy. If there continues to be high levels of uric acid in your blood the acid can turn into crystals in your joints especially your toes, knees, elbows, wrists and fingers.

GOUT is completely PREVENTABLE with the RIGHT medication !!!
